A Rabbit In My Headlights Poem by David Clinch

I was coming home to Torrington from an open mic session in Barnstaple late one night.
I saw a rabbit flailing in the middle of the road on the white broken line. I was also listening to the great songwriter, singer and guitarist, Richard Thompson on the radio 'BBC Mastertapes'. He was asked how he writes a song. He said that he was no different to anyone else in the way he went about it. I was inspired. When I arrived home after midnight I sat down and wrote this poem. It's also a song.
